Message from Bishop
August 2002
And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
Matthew 28:18-20 (NAS)

What do you do when trouble arises?
A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves."
So Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?" And she said, "Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil."
Then he said, "Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors-- empty vessels; do not gather just a few.
"And when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour it into all those vessels, and set aside the full ones."
So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured it out.
Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, "Bring me another vessel." And he said to her, "There is not another vessel." So the oil ceased.
Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, "Go, sell the oil and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest."
II Kings 4:1-7 (NKJ)
What do you do when trouble arises? Do you go to go to
Sister Peanut Butter and Brother Jelly to lament about you situation? Do
you whine to God about your circumstances? Do you call the 900 numbers and
spend your money talking to someone who does not know you but gets rich off your
trouble?
What do you do when trouble arises? Go to God. He
has the answers. But do not go to complain. Instead, ask Him what He
wants you to do. He has the answers. Be prepared to do what He
says. Many times, people do not listen to instruction or go to the wrong
place for instruction. Always go to God. He has the answers.
He will not lead you astray.
God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent; has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
Numbers 23:19 (NAS)
And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
Mark 10:27 (KJV)
